ctrl/K, Backspace, Ok, then put -year-old

How do I get AutoCorrect/Text to do a backspace, i.e. {backspace}-year-old?
I use yo in my Shortcut and that can handle the backspace function but now I'm using a new platform and had to import my Expander BUT it won't import entries with {BACKSPACE}. I'm trying to put it into the AutoCorrect/Text but it won't take the command to backspace so now when I type yo it comes out looking like this: 35 -year-old and I have to manually go back and take out the extra space. When I try to enter the command exactly like in ShortCut, {BACKSPACE}-year-old, AutoText sticks it in EXACTLY like that.
 Is there a way to get it to do what I want???
hit Ctrl/K, hit Backspace, hit Okay

Type Matrix keyboard has backspace key in middle- sm
The TypeMatrix keyboard is split down the middle, one split, with backspace keys (two of them) in the middle. It is a vertically aligned keyboard, so if you can imagine each hand has its own keys and therefore its own backspace key. You can see it at www.typematrix.com
I cannot recommend this keyboard enough (no, I don’t work for them)...I have had it for several years and it is amazing...I have reduced the pain and stress in my hands and wrists by 95%....I love it! 
Type this {@KEY Ctrl+B} before and after whatever you want bolded. nm

Ctrl + W or Ctrl + F4 prompts to save and close documents
without closing Word. Ctrl + N opens a new document.
I just put in -year-old, then when I type
the age I don't space after it, I just type 15yo and have no problem with an extra space.
how to type 50-year-old
I just enter 50y for my shortcut and 50-year-old in the expansion part and it works fine. Also, 50yf for 50-year-old female and 50ym for 50-year-old male. Hope it helps!!
I would type just as you did, except with a "-" btwn 66 and year

You're hitting Alt+Ctrl+S. Hit Alt+Ctrl+C to get back.

In Description Field type {@KEY Left}-year-old
In Keyword, type
yo, OR yof, yom, yog, yow
In Description Field, type:
{@KEY Left}-year-old
I use the following as well:
{@KEY Left}-year-old-female,
{@KEY-year-old male,
{@KEY Left}-year-old gentleman,
{@KEY Left}-year-old woman, etc.
Good luck rebuilding your ShortHand. I back mine up to a little portable drive on a keychain, I'd be lost without my ShortHand.

Instead of Ctrl+Ctrl+Insert, try
Ctrl+Insert+Insert. See if that works. Mark the word-phrase that you want to insert first. Let me know.
shorthand backspace
do ctrl/k, then hit backspace key, add -year-old....will look like {@KEY BkSp}-year-old
Setting backspace for pedal
I have an older transcriber (DAC Model DA-125) and have had it for quite some time now. I moved my office over the weekend and had to unplug the machine. Well, my backspace has reset to practically nothing and I can't find my manual on how to reprogram the backspace. Is there anyone else out there using this phone and if so, how to do reprogram it for the backspace length?
Thanks so much for your help.

C-phone auto backspace - How to?
Does anyone know how to set/adjust auto backspace on a Dictaphone C-phone?
Thanks.
C-phone auto backspace
When I used the C-phone, I would press 9 to increase auto backspace and 8 to decrease it.
Does anyone know how to increase the pedal backspace on a DVI? sm
I am having a problem that when I lift my foot off the pedal, it pauses but does not back up at all. It is hard to work like that and I cannot figure for the life of me what to do to fix it!
Well the backspace feature won't work as far as I know BUT sm
I use 48x and have that expand to 48-year-old and it will expand correctly. Some people I know use 48y and set it to expand to the same thing. Not perfect but hope it helps.
C-phone ? backspace increment?
Does anyone know how to set the backspace increment on c-phone. My instructions say to use * for "set incremental motion" but it's not working. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Left thumb backspace keyboard
I can backspace with my left thumb and space forward with my right thumb. No reaching up with my pinkie to the backspace key at top right. It's called an "Erase Ease" I think. Let's me fly.
Just backspace over it. I think they just want an e addy so someone is accountable for the post.

Adusting auto backspace on C-phone
Can anyone tell me how to adjust the autobackspace on C-phone. I want to shorten it and can't find any directions. thanks.
Does your program have an option to put in a backspace in your expander?
I use ShortHand for Windows, and if this is what you use, you can put {@KEY BkSp} at the end of it and it will automatically backspace as part of the shortcut.
Same thing applies for bolding, etc. If you look in the help section, you should be able to find out if you can do this.
If you work in Microsoft word, you could record a macro instead of putting it into the autocorrect section.
Good luck!
Open the normal.dot file and change your zoom. Hit the space and backspace and close it.

Mine are in year-round thank goodness! They've started their new year 2 months ago.

Union diesil mechanic - good pay, great benefits. We swap year to year on who brings home more sm
money.....but I am an IC and he has all the benefits...health insurance/dental that the company pays for, pension plan, 401k, etc. Factor all of that in and he makes way more than I do.
don't type double spaces. Type single. Then no one will be cheated.

That is, type the code above before and after what you want bolded in the text-to-type box. nm

{@KEY Ctrl+B}
nm
she did say Ctrl/S also, which...
searches for a document for a particular patient, then after looking at the document searched for, Ctrl/T would end THAT document w/o saving any changes that may have been made while viewing document...does this make sense? Perhaps that is why she would use Ctrl/T...
Just CTRL+K sm
then it says "the next key you type" the CTRL+B, your entry, then CTRL+B to remove bolding at then end. Why use tags?
I think it's Ctrl + J
Works for me.
Try ALT+CTRL+R or ALT+CTRL+P nm
.
Unfortunately, once CTRL CTRL
stops working for me, I'm unable to load any more shortcuts until I go out of the program and go back in. Weird.
At MQ with DQS, you can Ctrl X, but I don't know
nm
Ctrl-S
brings up a screen, and you fill in the field or fields you want to be searched. For instance, if I want to search for reports done by Dr. Smith, I put smith into provider last name and click find(?). Then a list of reports by Dr. Smith will display, and you can choose one to look at. It opens this document up in a separate Extext document than the one you are working on. Then you can copy and paste what you need into document you are working on or just read through it, etc.
You have to remember to close the search document before you close current Extext document because it messes something up which I can't remember right now!
ctrl x
never worked for me. I highlight text, right click, choose cut and then paste where I want it.
I have never used ctrl-T
I click on the little x in the upper right corner to close, not the big red one. This will just close that document and return you to working document. I have never been kicked out using it.
